A sculptural, high-contrast serif with extremely thin hairlines and strong vertical stress. Stems and terminals resolve into subtly flared, wedge-like endings rather than blunt serifs, creating sharp, clean joins and a polished, calligraphic edge. The uppercase proportions feel display-oriented with narrow counters and poised curves, while the lowercase shows a slightly more conversational rhythm through compact bowls and delicate entry strokes. Overall spacing reads even and controlled in text, with crisp punctuation and numerals that follow the same razor-thin-to-thick modulation.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine titles, section heads, fashion lookbooks, and premium branding systems where contrast and sharp detailing can shine. It can work for short editorial passages when set with comfortable size and leading, but it reads most confidently in larger sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The tone is elegant and elevated, with a fashion and luxury sensibility driven by dramatic contrast and precise detailing. It carries a contemporary editorial confidence—cool, refined, and intentionally showy—without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice: dramatic contrast, polished construction, and flared endings that add a distinctive signature. It prioritizes visual sophistication and impact, aiming for standout presence in editorial and brand-forward contexts.
Curves are drawn with taut, clean arcs and minimal bracket transitions, emphasizing a sleek silhouette. The thinnest strokes are extremely fine, so the design’s character relies on pristine reproduction and generous sizes to preserve its hairline details.
